Everyone gets something they like

Perfect for a family vehicle, Kenwood's great-looking DPX300U CD receiver gives you variable illumination colors, plenty of entertainment options, and user-friendly controls. And you can plug your iPod®, iPhone®, or other devices into the handy USB port and auxilliary input located on the front panel. System info shows up in extremely large font size on the display, so you'll know what's up with a glance.

How do you like your music?

Whether you plug in your iPod® or iPhone® to the front USB, load a CD, or listen to Internet radio stations, you can choose from a variety of easily accessible musical options. iPhone users, you can access and control your iHeartRadio and Pandora stations with the Kenwood's controls. You can also add a SiriusXM tuner to access the impressive selection of sports, talk, news, and commercial-free music offered on satellite radio. And the included wireless means your passengers can control the entertainment while you worry about the driving.

Variable color options

The DPX300U will give your dash a face lift, with sleek styling, a glossy exterior, and a prominent control knob that give it way more style than your average factory stereo. When you set the variable display and button colors to match your car's interior, you'll give it extra oomph. Amd here's good news for you Toyota owners out there — this receiver comes with Toyota trim pieces that make it look right at home in your ride.

Sound quality to rock your ride

This Kenwood's built-in MOSFET amp will impress you with its clean power, so turn it up if you want. You can use the 3-band equalizer for precise adjustment of the highs, mids, and lows, while eight EQ presets allow quick shifts to a tone curve that matches your music. The Speaker Settings function tailors the output of the receiver to match the size and type of speakers you've got installed in your vehicle.

Want to keep your car's steering wheel audio controls?

In most vehicles, you can use an adapter (not included) to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Kenwood stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the Kenwood, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Check the "Accessories" tab for compatible adapters.

iPod note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver or its optional iPod adapter.

Other info:

Why replace your factory radio?

Two good reasons - sound quality and cool features. A new car stereo offers power that's superior to most factory radios, along with more sophisticated tone controls. And most car stereos offer built-in or optional features that add safety and fun to life in your car, including inputs for your iPod or MP3 player, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free cell phone calls, satellite radio or HD Radio reception, and connections for building an audio system in your car.

iPod/Android/Aux Integration

iPod Direct Connection w/ DAC Bypass: The DPX300U's
front-panel USB port acts as an iPod/iPhone high-speed direct connection when
used with the optional Kenwood USB Direct Connection Cable (113KCIP102,
sold separately) or the USB/iPod cable that comes with your iPod/iPhone. If you
have an iPod nano (7th gen), iPod touch (5th gen), or iPhone 5/5C/5S; use the
Lighting-to-USB cable that came with your Apple device to connect to the head
unit. Using either cable allows audio playback, music navigation, information
display, and charging of select iPod/iPhone models from the DPX300U.

DAC Bypass: This USB connection allows your
iPod/iPhone's large music libraries to be loaded instantly to the head unit
and sound quality to be maximized through the head unit's 24-bit D/A
converter, allowing for a Signal to Noise ratio up to 105dB. The Kenwood
head unit supports audio playback of music files and podcasts stored on your
iPod or iPhone, as well as music apps streamed to your iPhone.

Music Control: You can choose to control the
iPod/iPhone from the head unit or from your iPod/iPhone's clickwheel or
touchscreen.

Song, or Podcast. You can search these categories alphabetically or
using a percentage search (0.5%, 1%, 5%, 10%). The head unit also
supports Repeat (file) & Random (folder) playback functions of your
connected iPod/iPhone.

iPod/App Mode: In iPod/App mode, you can navigate
the stored music on your iPod/iPhone from its clickwheel or touchscreen.
You can also listen to your favorite music apps (such as
Rhapsody &
Slacker) from your iPhone (iOS 3.0+) through the Kenwood head
unit and your vehicle's speakers. You will continue to use your iPhone's
touchscreen to navigate your apps. Not all apps will be compatible with
App Mode. Access to your iPhone's downloaded applications will depend on
the availability of a cellular and/or WiFi network for purposes of
allowing your iPhone to connect to the Internet.

Information Display: The DPX300U will display your
iPod/iPhone's music file information when you are controlling your iPod or
iPhone from the Kenwood head unit. The head unit will display Track number,
Elapsed playing time, Artist name, Song title, and Album label. If you
choose to operate your connected iPod/iPhone via its clickwheel or
touchscreen controls, the DPX300U will not display your iPod/iPhone's music
information (the head unit will instead display "APP/iPod").

provides 1A of current to power and charge your connected iPod/iPhone when
your vehicle's ignition switch is set to the 'ACC' or 'On' position. This
